This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hello list Yesterday I had, what I hope to be, my very last contact with one of = Eavestaff's most Inconsiderate Piano Designs. It's BACKWARDS!! The = pedals and keyboard are in the usual place but... you have to remove the = BACK to get at the action, the tuning pins and the strings....! = Fortunately it has a short keyboard and the bicords of the top change to = single covered at about tenor 'C' and go on that way to the bottom note. = The keys actuate the levers via a "birdcage" of pull-ups and, of course, = looked at from the back the stringing is backwards! The metal plate is = backwards (in fact I could fantasize on converting it to a mini-mini = grand!) So I had to get my 'T' hammer and my Papps wedge in there = between the pull-ups and the hammers to tune the wretched thing and try = to hit the correct key. I wouldn't like to try using more than one wedge = on this beastie! The cabinet is flat topped and at the same level as the = keyboard. That should give some idea of its size. No - it is NOT a = ships' piano - the keyboard doesn't drop. I hate it already. It does = have the most remarkable tone though... Hate it. And it's wired for = electric candelabras...!! Thank goodness Eavestaff are no longer in = business.... But we are left with these things - just to annoy! It's all = backwards.... It belongs to a Spice Girl's papa. He's great though and = I'm talking him into changing the Eavestaff for a S&S upright. = Hopefully. Hate it though... Hate it!
